I’m Trying (Not Friends) Maisie Peters

[Verse 1]
London, 2020
Boy and a girl broke up, yeah, it's two a penny
And I been tryna make a big step forward
Saw you, it was awkward
Nothing like I thought would happen happened
I was so in love, and that don't come off in the wash
Kinda hope it does, though
'Cause you're seeing someone pretty and I hate her guts
So I'll be telling you she's nice on the bus home

[Chorus]
We were bad but we're gonna be good
It didn't work like I thought it would
And I resent you just a little if I'm honest
But one of us has gotta try to keep a promise
And I swore that I'd swallow my pride
And you swore you would do better this time
Well, I might be bitter and twisted and broken and petty and lying
But at least I'm trying
At least I'm trying
At least I'm trying

[Verse 2]
Three shots, lemon drops
One for being lost and alone in your early twenties
One for being obsessed with someone who puts you secondary
One for calling guys with guitars in a cemetery
Just me? Okay
If I'm being frank, I want a "sorry" but I'll settle for a handshake
'Cause I'm the baby but I'm gonna be the bigger man, babe
So many blank slates I could build a whole fucking house
